L
The number of rings is determined by the
“Silent
fax recognition ring setting”
(feature #436 on
page 61).
L
Callers will hear a ring back tone different from
the one generated by the telephone company.
L
When you answer the call using an extension
telephone connected to the
[

jack, press
{
STOP
}
on the unit to talk to the calling party.
B
If you do not answer the call, the unit will activate
the fax function.

Some fax machines do not generate fax calling
tones when sending faxes, therefore the unit will
try to receive a fax even if no fax calling tone is
detected.
